| ABSTRACT Histological analysis of bleached samples of Siderastrea stellata Verrill, 1868, with white plague disease and with alteration in the color pattern, revealed drastic tissue and cellular disturbances, such as lysis of the external epithelium, hyperplasia of gastrodermis, apoptosis of epithelial cells and zooxanthellae, and degradation of mesenteric filaments and reproductive cells. Fungal hyphae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria were present in diseased samples and colonies with alteration in the color pattern. Furthermore, bleached and diseased samples showed significant reductions in the number of zooxanthellae per 100 µm2 of gastrodermis and significant reductions in the diameters and volumes of stage V oocytes. We found that bleaching events,... |

| The immune system maintains the integrity of the organisms through a complex network of molecules, cells, and tissues that recognize internal or external antigenic substances to neutralized and eliminate them. The mechanisms of immune response have evolved in a modular fashion, where members of a given module interact strongly among them, but weakly with members of other modules, providing robustness and evolvability to the immune system. Ancestral modules are the raw material for the generation of new modules through evolution. Thus, the study of immune systems in basal metazoans such as cnidarians seeks to determine the basic tool kit from which the metazoans started to construct their immune systems. In addition, understanding the immune mechanisms in... |

| ABSTRACT The Tayrona National Natural Park, located on the Colombian Caribbean coast, has a coastline shaped by cliffs and bays in its western part, with the presence of coral formations. In 2005, a coral formation dominated by Acropora palmata affected by lesions similar to those caused by White Pox disease was found in Cinto bay. Subsequently, 15 lesions were followed and photographed in three different occasions (May and August 2006 and March 2007), coinciding with the two contrasting climatic seasons of the region. Permanent growth was found in all lesions with an average of 0.8 cm2/day . Contrary to what was observed with white pox and other diseases in the region, these lesions did not stop growing when the temperature dropped in the first months of... |
